    Bucket list stuff today. Playing a club match against St. Andrews on the Old Course. First time on it so up against it a bit, but can’t wait to get stuck into it.

    Lost 2 n 1 mate. Wedge game let me down because I drove the ball superb but hit so many poor shots in and never gave myself great looks. Good experience but disappointed as I feel like I could have got something out the game.

    Good to get it ticked off the list, but I wouldn’t be totally desperate to play it again if I’m honest. If I got asked to play the Old or Dumbarnie I’m going for the latter.

    I was the same glad I got to play it, I wouldn't say it's an unbelievable course it's more the history ect, I'm wanting to get dumbarnie played this year, it's down to £150 Scottish rate,

    Only 11 tee times up for grabs on one day for the Old Course...

    The headlines sound great though

    I'm genuinely no fussed about st andrews anyway.

    Prefer courses with forestry and trees, over links.

    Aye there's about 180 tee times they are balloting spread across several courses.

    I'm no all that fussed about the Old Course either. Everyone I know that's played it, and the boys on here, make it sound underwhelming and more a tick box than anything else. Sure I will play it one day mind.
